Uses
INDICATIONS AND USAGE: Intraocular use for obtaining miosis during surgery. In addition, MIOSTAT* (carbachol intraocular solution, USP) 0.01% reduces the intensity of IOP elevation in the first 24 hours after cataract surgery.
Dosage
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Aseptically remove the sterile vial from the blister package by peeling the backing paper and dropping the vial onto a sterile tray. Withdraw the contents into a dry sterile syringe, and replace the needle with an atraumatic cannula prior to intraocular instillation. No more than one-half milliliter should be gently instilled into the anterior chamber for the production of satisfactory miosis. It may be instilled before or after securing sutures. Miosis is usually maximal within two to five minutes after application.

Systemic: Side effects such as flushing, sweating, epigastric distress, abdominal cramps, tightness in urinary bladder, and headache have been reported with topical or systemic application of carbachol. The following additional reactions have been identified during post-approval use of MIOSTAT (carbachol intraocular solution, USP) 0.01% in clinical practice.
